  • Agenda item 2a through agenda item 2f constitute separate resolutions. Since each of the resolutions will be required to implement the cornerstone placement and the rights issue, these resolutions will be put to a vote jointly as one single voting item. Agenda item 2 requires a two-thirds majority of the votes cast in a general meeting in which at least half of the issued share capital is represented.
  • The term 'shares' as used in this notice should, with respect to ordinary shares issued by Fugro, be construed to include certificates of ordinary shares (also referred to as 'depositary receipts for ordinary shares'), unless the context otherwise requires.
  • Each proposal to amend the articles of association includes the proposal to authorise each managing director of Fugro as well as each lawyer, candidate civil-law notary and paralegal practicing with De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek N.V. to execute the respective notarial deed of amendment of the articles of association.
  • This convening notice also serves as a notice convening a meeting of holders of ordinary shares to be held simultaneously with the EGM and with the proposal to approve the resolution under agenda item 2f of the EGM. All dates or deadlines referred to in this notice shall be applicable to both the EGM and the meeting of holders of ordinary shares.

Fugro Trust Office Foundation (Stichting Administratiekantoor Fugro)

Such holders of certificates of shares may exercise their voting rights provided that they grant a proxy in accordance with the above and taking into account the provisions of section 2:118a of the Dutch Civil Code. The Board of Fugro Trust Office Foundation has the intention to vote the shares for which it carries out the administration, insofar as holders of certificates of shares (or their proxies) do not use the aforementioned proxy to vote or insofar as section 2:118a paragraph 2 of the Dutch Civil Code is applied.
